Answer:
High;less.
Explanation:
In the book, "Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors" published by Michael E. Porter in 1980. Porter proposed a five forces model of competition which is widely used in analyzing competitions, attractiveness and profitability in businesses.
Michael E. Porter's Five Forces of competition are;
1. Threat of substitute products or services.
2. Threat of new entrants into the industry.
3. Power of customers.
4. Power of suppliers.
5. Industry competition.
Considering, the U.S. passenger airline industry through the lens of the Five Forces model. Suppose airline employees, who represent a significant portion of the cost of operating an airline, are strongly unionized. Based on this information, supplier power is high. All else equal, this implies that the airline industry is less attractive to enter.
This ultimately implies that, when the bargaining power of suppliers are high, it simply means that the airline industry is at the mercy of the employees and as such would most likely depend on them by complying with their bids all the time.
Hence, this would make the airline industry to be less attractive to potential investors because there would be an increase in input or capital costs with a lesser profit margins.

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost
Materials handling Number of requisitions $40,800
Machine setups Number of setups 25,750
Quality inspections Number of inspections 21,000
Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total
Number of requisitions= 1,050
Number of setups= 485
Number of inspections= 490
We need to use the following formula for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 40,800/1,050= $38.86 per requisition
Machine setups= 25,750/485= $53.1 per setup
Quality inspections= 21,000/490= $42.86 per inspection
The law of demand states that:________ a. a higher price will lead to increased sales. b. consumers have unlimited demands for a good. c. the price can never be too high for some consumers. d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
Answer:
d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
Explanation:
The law of demand states that when the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases when everything else remains constant as people are less willing to purchase a product when the price is higher. This means that the price and the quantity demanded are inversely related as when one variable increases the other one decreases. According to this, the answer is that the law of demand states that quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
The other answers are not right because the law of demand states that the price and the quantity demanded of a good are inversely related, it doesn't refer to the price and sales, consumers don't have unlimited demands for a good as it is affected by the price and the price can be too high for some consumers as when the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases.
"Its East Division has operating assets of $7,500,000, profit margin of 15%, and asset turnover of 0.80. Calculate the East Division's residual income."
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Residual Income = Net Operating Income - (Operating assets x ROI)
Residual Income = 900,000 - ( 7,500,000 x 10%)
Residual Income = 900,000 - 750,000
Residual income = 150,000
NOTE: Assume ROI is 10%
Workings (net Operating Income)
Asset turnover = sales / net operating assets
0.8 x 7,500,000 = sales
sales = 6,000,000
Profit margin = Net operating income / sales
15% = Net operating income / 6,000,000
Net operating income = 6,000,000 x 15%
Net operating income = 900,000
Air Jamaica Vacations (AJV) requested bids from printing firms to produce travel brochures. Moore Graphic Services (Moore) responded with an offer quoting prices and terms for an agreement to produce between 100,000 and 250,000 brochures. The offer stated that sales tax would be charged and requested that AJV indicate its acceptance by signing and returning the offer. Moore then contacted one of its vendors, Starr Printing Co. (Starr), about producing the brochures and sent AJV samples of the work to be performed. Meanwhile, AJV returned the offer with some modified terms, including a handwritten notation, "no tax." Moore then told Starr it was putting "the job" on hold and told AJV that it could not perform "the job" because of a dispute about the tax. Starr printed the brochures and demanded payment. AJV refused, claiming in part that the brochures were of "poor quality." Starr filed a suit in a federal district court against AJV. AJV filed a suit against Moore, claiming a breach of contract for giving the job to Starr. Moore filed a motion for summary judgment, on the ground that there was no contract. Did Moore and AJV have a contract? Why or why not? Please explain. HTML EditorKeyboard Shortcuts
Answer:
There was no contract between Moore and AJV.
Moore sent an offer to AJV, but the offer was not accepted. Instead, AJV made a counteroffer to Moore asking them to pay the taxes themselves, not AJV. But Moore did not accept AJV's counteroffer, therefore, there was no contract between them.
In order for a legal contract to exist, both parties must accept the terms of the contract, i.e. both parties must the other party's offer. In this case, neither Moore or AJV accepted each other's offer.

Read the case below and answer the questions which follow:
Part I: IBM has long been one of IT's leaders and has acquired more than 22.000 patents in the past decade. However, by the 1990s the company had lost its draw for customers and its innovative edge. In 2003 IBM decided to redefine its business model. The company phased out its presence in creating/selling hardware and sold its Personal Computing Division to Lenovo, a computer company in China. If a company wants to stay on top of its market, it must be constantly moving forward and adapting its focus. IBM restructured its business skills, assets, and delivery capabilities to meet the needs of their clients who wanted to blend information technology with business operations. The company set up all architecture and technologies for the On Demand operating environment.
Part ll: In 2005, IBM continued to make On Demand Business more tangible and even more focused on innovation. The company's goal has been execution. As part of IBM's On Demand focus, the company vowed to become more On Demand itself by creating a true global reach and utilizing the talent available worldwide and by giving authority and resources to those working in close contact with its clients. On Demand has allowed IBM to become focused and in sync across the board.
Part IlI: Critics argue that there is nothing new to IT in On Demand, and others clalm development has not gone far enough for On Demand to be truly functional. Regardless, IT companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Oracle (to nam few) are pursuing technology along the same lines. This tells developers and executives at IBM that they are certainly on the right track -setting the pace and in the lead.
1. IBM's shift to a service business, changed the inputs in their transformation process. Which input would be the most important resource in the new model?
a. Materials
b. Energy
c. Labor
d. Ideas
2. Because service to meeting this requirement? organizations require high-touch relationships with customers; which of the following characteristics of the service organization is most important ?
a. Hiring and training
b. Flexible systems
c. Customized services
d. Adjustable capecity
3. Service organizations like IBM can standardize processes they are offering by:
a. Blending the use of technology
b. Designing Gantt Charts
c. Aligning inputs
d. Empowering employees
4. Unlike a service operation, the outputs for manufacturing operations are:
a. Tangible
b. Intangible
c. High-touch
d. Customer driven
5. The services that IBM is providing business clients to help with their technology will require a great deal of transformation process in the conversion step of the:_________
a. Facilties
b. Equipment
c. Knowledge
d. Technology
Answer:
1. c. Labor
2. a. Hiring and training
3. a. . Blending the use of technology
4. a. Tangible
5. d. Technology
Explanation:
1. IBM wants to create a global reach so that it may be able to take advantage of the talent that is available worldwide signifying that is is Labor that is integral to their new business model.
2. If the organisation requires high-touch relationships with customers then good representatives/employees are needed. Proper employees should be hired and trained to ensure that they relate well with customers.
3. By blending the technology they use around the world, they can standardise the way their employees do things using that technology.
4. Manufacturing firms produce actual goods. These goods can be seen, held, felt etc. They are tangible unlike services which do not have the aforementioned characteristics.
5. A great deal of knowledge will be required during the conversion stage of the Transformation process because the client's business will have to be blended with information technology. As every business is different, the customisation will take quite a bit of knowledge to accomplish.
The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount wou
Question
The question is incomplete, hence the tutor added a piece of information
The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount would be
Assuming the actual machine hours worked is 3,500
Note the actual machine was added by the tutor
Answer:
Applied overhead =$49,000
Explanation:
Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.
Pre-determined overhead absorption rate (POAR) = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted machine hours
The POAR is given as $14 per machine hour
Applied (absorbed) overhead = POAR × Actual machine hours
Applied overhead = $14 × 3,500 =$49000
Applied overhead =$49,000
n the current year, the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid the following amounts: $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. In addition, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year. Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership. How much and what type(s) of income must Donald report for the tax year?
Answer: $75,000 ordinary income; $3,000 of long-term capital gains.
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. Also, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year and that Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership.
From the question, the ordinary income of the firm will be the difference between the revenue gotten and the $50,000 paid in rent and utilities which is an expense. This will be:
= $200000 - $50000
= $150000
The income from capital gain = $6000
Since, Donald will get 50% of what the partnership makes, thus will be:
50% of $150,000 ordinary income which is (50/100 × $150,000) = $75,000 and 50% of $6000 capital gain which will be $3,000.
= 50
Therefore, Donald will get $75000 of the ordinary income and $ 3000 of the capital gain.
If the producers’ surplus is $50, and the consumers’ surplus is $40, then what is the minimum selling price of the good?
Answer:
There is not enough information in this question, but I can explain the concept using an example. Good A sells for $150. Producer surplus = $50 and consumer surplus = $40.
The minimum selling price in this example would be $100, where producer surplus = $0.
Explanation:
Producer surplus refers to the difference between the minimum price that a supplier is willing to sell its goods or services versus the actual selling price of the goods or services. E.g. a producer could be willing to sell its goods at $100, but the selling price is $150, so producer surplus = $50
Consumer surplus refers to the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service. E.g. a consumer is willing to pay $190 for a good but its selling price is $150, so consumer surplus = $40.

Why should a manager in an international business care about the political economy of free trade or about the relative merits of arguments of free trade and protectionism
Answer:
The answer is explained below
Explanation:
To begin with, the policies that the goverments decide to implement in their countries tend to influece in a huge way the companies decisions and therefore its actions as well. Therefore that as a company manager of an international business he needs to stay very updated about the government policies over the countries where his company works. Moreover, the manager will understand that if there is free trade in a country then there will be no problems for his company to start selling there and obtaining the maximum profits as possible and if there is protectionism then the company will have to deal with the policies that the government implemented there. And that is why that as an international business manager he should really care about the policies of the country's government and if there is free trade of protectionism.

Answer:
The ordinal measurement
Explanation:
In this question, we are concerned with knowing the level of measurement used by this scale
The correct answer to this is the ordinal measurement.
What the ordinal scale does is that it places events in order but it does not take into account the fact that the intervals of the scale need to be equal using some sets of rule.
It only places the intervals into groups of subdivisions without having a rule that uses an interval to place members of each subdivision into their class
Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written off?
Answer:
$4,580
Explanation:
since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:
Dr Allowance for bad debts 140
Cr Accounts receivable 140
So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860
the allowance for bad debts balance = $280
accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580
Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.

C&A's potato chip filling process has a lower specification limit of 9.5 oz. and an upper specification limit of 105 oz. The standard deviation is 03 oz. and the mean is 10 oz. What is the process capability index for the chip filling process?
Answer:
Process capability index (cp) for the chip filling process is 0.56
Explanation:
Process capability index (cp) = (Upper Specification Limit - Mean) / (3 * standard deviation) = (Mean - Lower Specification) / (3 * standard deviation)
Process capability index (cp) = (10.5 - 10) / (3*0.3)
Process capability index (cp) = 5/9
Process capability index (cp) = 0.56

An important element of just-in-time processing is Group of answer choices dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice. all of the above. a specialized workforce. less emphasis on a quality control system.
Answer:
dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice
Explanation:
I will first try to explain what the concept means. just in time processing is an inventory strategy that has to do with the ordering of materials at short notice and receiving these items just in time for the production process. It decreases inventory costs and waste and also raises efficiency since goods are only going to be received as they are needed for production.
Therefore the correct answer is: dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice.
chandler Communications'CFO has provided the following information: The company's capital budget is expected to be $5,000,000. The company's target capital structure is 70 percent debt and 30 percent equity. The company's net income is $4,500,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what portion of its net income should it pay out as dividends this year
Answer: $3,000,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company's capital budget is expected to be $5,000,000 and that the company's target capital structure is 70 percent debt and 30 percent equity.
Equity = 30% × $5,000,000
= 30/100 × $5,000,000
= 0.3 × $5,000,000
= $1,500,000
Debt = 70% × $5,000,000
= 70/100 × $5,000,000
= 0.7 × $5,000,000
= $3,500,000
We are further told that the company's net income is $4,500,000 and since we be calculated the equity that will be needed to finance the capital budget as $1,500,000. Therefore, portion of its net income should it pay out as dividends this year will be:
= $4,500,000 - $1,500,000
= $3,000,000
The portion of its net income should it payout as dividends this year is $3,000,000.
Calculation of the dividend:Before that the following calculations need to be done.
Equity = 30% × $5,000,000
= 30/100 × $5,000,000
= 0.3 × $5,000,000
= $1,500,000
Now
Debt = 70% × $5,000,000
= 70/100 × $5,000,000
= 0.7 × $5,000,000
= $3,500,000
Now finally the dividend is
= $4,500,000 - $1,500,000
= $3,000,000

Suppose there are three commercial concrete suppliers that account for 90% of sales (of nearly identical products) in northern New England. What is the most important thing they can do to earn profits in the commercial concrete industry
Answer: c. Collude
Explanation:
In order to make the maximum profit, the most important thing that these commercial concrete suppliers can do would be to Collude. While this is against fair market practices in a competitive market, it will ensure that they make enough profits in the industry.
With a 90% market share between them, they could collude to establish a price at which they will all sell at and because of their high market share, this is the price that the market will begin to sell at. That price will be a price that is high enough for them all to make sufficient profits therefore the goal of the collusion will be accomplished.
Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Gilberto and Juanita are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Gilberto chooses Right and Juanita chooses Right, Gilberto will receive a payoff of 3, and Juanita will receive a payoff of 7.
Juanita
Left Right
Gilberto
Left 4, 6 6, 8
Right 7, 5 3, 7
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _____ to choose _____ . The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Gilberto chooses _____ and Juanita chooses ____ .
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for Juanita to choose left since it is the best response of Juniata irrespective of what Gilberto does.
Gilberto chooses left and Juanita chooses left.
Explanation:
Gilberto appears to know Juniata's left to choose. So Gilberto opts for Left to maximize its return on investment. The technique is superior if the approach gives a participant a greater payout than just about any other player, no matter what any player does.
Therefore, the effect is.
When Juanita chooses his winning approach, it is the safest option for Gilberto to left.

Just Right Incorporated is considering the option of an extra dividend versus a share repurchase and the impact of both decisions on the firm. Just Right plans to spend $85,000 in respect of both scenarios. Just Right’s current earnings are $2.10 per share, and the stock currently sells for $45 per share. Just Right currently has 5,000 shares outstanding. You own one share of stock in this company. If the company issues the dividend, what will your total investment be worth?
Answer:
The total investment will be "28".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total dividend amount
= $85,000
Current earnings per share
= $2.10
Total purchased amount
= $85,000
Currently sell stock
= $45 per share
Now,
⇒ [tex]Dividend \ per \ share=\frac{85000}{5000}[/tex]
[tex]=17[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Total \ investment=currently \ sell \ stock+dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
[tex]=45+17[/tex]
[tex]=62[/tex]
The number of repurchased shares will be:
= [tex]\frac{total \ repurchase}{currently \ sells}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{85000}{45}[/tex]
= [tex]1889[/tex]
So, Percentage of repurchased will be:
= [tex]\frac{1889}{5000}[/tex]
= [tex]37.78 \ percent[/tex]
When the share becomes bought, the overall investment value will be as follows:
= [tex]45\times ( 1 -0.3778)[/tex]
= [tex]45\times 0.6222[/tex]
= [tex]27.999 \ or \ 28[/tex]
